Shihad on getting back to their heavy metal roots

From Music 101, 12:00 pm on 9 October 2021

Shihad share a record with Hayley Westenra for having the most number one records of any New Zealand artist ever, and their tenth has just been released.

It’s called Old Gods, and finds the band taking on white supremacy, Donald Trump, colonisation and more.

Tony Stamp talked to drummer Tom Larkin and guitarist Phil Knight about channelling anger into music, how they’ve always been a political band, and returning to their heavy metal roots.
